I am totally supportive of removing mask mandates for vaccinated kids now. Unvaccinated kids can continue to wear masks.

Vaccines aren't necessary to removing masks - schools are mask optional throughout the US and Europe without any problems. And requiring vaccines is just saying "poor kids have to keep wearing masks" (sounds similar to people who like their service staff masked at restaurants and stores, like a modern day caste system).

Considering 1/3 of parents of 5 to 11 year olds are getting them vaccinated at this time, this is just a way for the "mask forever" crowd to throw up more roadblocks. At the FDA hearing, they don't even know if vaccinating that age group would reduce transmission at all.

Help is on the way for our kids on January 15th! Can't wait for Governor Youngkin to free us from these child masking rules that are appealing to those most irrational people in this area (like Smart Restart).

Agreed. This discussion is beside the point. Youngkin will do his thing his thing in January. That's the off ramp. Freedom!

That a mask means freedom to you is strange. I guess doctors nurses and dentists are not free because of the hospital policy? I think you are incapable of any suffering or short term pain. Sadly, you are the one who isn’t free because you are at the mercy of your impulses and you are not able to for a very short term give up a small thing (being unmasked) for the greater good. True freedom requires one to be able to give things up short term. It requires some discipline that you are not able to show in order to reap it’s rewards. If you can only think about your personal freedom, not the lives of others, it says a lot about your character.

School boards will still have the final say, though, won't they?

No, Youngkin makes it mandatory. Just like Northam obliged everyone to stay at home. Like a tyrant.

Nobody is voluntarily submitting to receive any experimental inoculation. And my kids will continue to attend school unmasked when the mandate is lifted by the new governor. If you want I can give you a pot for your tears.

You know what is going to be weird. When all these parents who won’t vax their kids and want masks off get quarantined for 10 days at a time while the vaxxed kids stay in school. Oh the complaining that will ensue.

I do think mask mandates will end relatively soon but it has way more to do with vaccines being available to younger kids than it does Youngkin.
